    Of course Xiao Qi knew that even in 2013, ARM and Imagination Technology were basically unable to urinate in the same pot, especially in high-precision technology cooperation. Apple was basically the only exception. This was because Apple occupied ARM.  It was only through his status as a shareholder that he was able to succeed in the end.

    Oh, I forgot to mention the relationship between CPU and GPU.

    CPU is the central processing unit, which is equivalent to the brain of a computer or mobile phone and is the core of computing and control.

    GPU is a graphics processor that controls various images of a computer or mobile phone. If the GPU is better, the image will be smoother and the quality will be clearer. For example, when watching movies and playing games, the image will be smooth without lag.  , is an important standard for testing whether a computer or mobile phone is of high quality.

    In a computer or mobile phone, both the central processing unit and the graphics processor are indispensable. In comparison, in a large computer, the central processing unit plays a greater role, and the requirements for the graphics processor are not too strict.

    But it's different when you switch to a mobile phone or tablet, because their display screens are much smaller than those of computers, and all kinds of pictures and quality will be severely compressed. In this case, if you want to watch movies  , to play games, you must have the best graphics processor. Under such top requirements, imagine that the GPU of technology companies can become as important as the CPU.

    right.

    You read that right, it¡¯s just as important. No matter how high the GPU reaches the sky, it will never be more important than the CPU.

    But it is a great honor to be as important as the brain.

    If you want a tablet computer with such a large screen and beautiful pictures and animation effects, you definitely need the best GPU, because paying attention to appearance is not just a Chinese patent, foreigners are also irresistible to beautiful-looking electronic products.

    Really good things have always been recognized by Eastern and Western cultural concepts, such as IPHONE and IPAD. With their outstanding functions and dazzling appearance, it is difficult to find people who dislike them - as for Samsung and Nokia later  , Motorola, etc. also released smart phones. After comparison, some people gradually felt that IPHONE and IPAD were not good enough.

    Xiao Qi was not worried at all about Carlos's refusal.

    Since Gang Leader Qiao can do it, Xiao Qi, who has two lifetimes of experience, can also do it.

    "You mean, ARM is not willing to load the GPU of Imagine Technology on your CPU?" Xiao Qi looked at Carlos in surprise, "So ARM is such a company with no business ethics? When you fought against INTER, didn't you say that you  Customers can use their chips however they want, will you do your best to satisfy them?¡±

    ? Back then, ARM was beaten to pieces by INTER. If they hadn't been ruthless and completely released their source code for others to use, I'm afraid they would have been thrown into the trash can of history like other companies crushed by INTER.

    After so many years, the people at ARM have long been proud of their decision, and feel that the desperate move was the best, otherwise it would not be as prosperous as it is today.

    It is precisely because of this that ARM attaches great importance to its promises and will never change them unless it is absolutely necessary to avoid being unable to behave after the news is spread.

    Xiao Qi¡¯s few words left Carlos speechless. If he dared to say that he would not use the GPU from Imagine Technology Company, he would have to pack up and leave tomorrow.

    But Carlos also knows that the people in the company hate the arrogance of Imagine Technology. It may not be easy for them to make major architectural changes to the GPU of Imagine Technology.  .

    By the way, Imagination Technology¡¯s GPUs do not sell technology, they only sell finished products, or they can accept commissions to make finished products. They will not refuse customers what they use them for. Even if they are given to ARM, it doesn¡¯t matter. They are just making money anyway.

    So in fact, the main obstacle is ARM. When Apple commissioned Imagine Technology to make GPUs, it was far smoother than convincing ARM.

    "I calculated it. If you follow my conditions" Xiao Qi handed over the technical indicators he wrote, "The licensing fee you charge is about eight million US dollars. If you add the GPU of Imagine Technology,  If you can make the microprocessor I want within two months, I can give you 10 million US dollars! And I guarantee that more than 30 million chips will be produced!¡±

    "Hiss"

    Carlos was stimulated by the numbers Xiao Qi said, and stood up suddenly, "Mr. Xiao, wait a moment, I will report!"

    ¡­¡­

    Ten minutes later, four important figures from ARM¡¯s New York branch gathered in the office on the other side.

    The bald one is Fischer, the company's deputy general manager, sitting next to him is Carlos, and the other standing person is Chief Technical Advisor Passi, sittingThe person on the chair is General Manager Redillo.

    Except for Carlos, whose role is slightly lower, the other three people can be regarded as the souls of ARM US Company, no less than those in Silicon Valley.

    The three of them are looking at the architectural requirements proposed by Xiao Qi. Most of ARM's staff are technicians and are very professional, so Redillo and Fisher can also understand Xiao Qi's idea.

    Of course, the most important character is Patsy with glasses. He is already leaning over the table, holding a pen, writing and drawing on the white paper, frowning from time to time.

    "Where did this young man come from? From MIT? Or from Harvard?" Fisher also smiled bitterly and put down the data copy paper in his hand. "The requirements are really demanding. It is the most demanding thing we have seen in the past few years."  The most rigorous and high-tech microprocessor chip.¡±

    "Not bad." Redillo also nodded, "If he was not Chinese, I really thought he was a resigned employee within ARM. How could such a targeted combination be arranged without more than ten years of electronic chip skills?  Is it so appropriate? Look at his requirements for 32-bit data import. If the main frequency is not above 250MIPS, it can¡¯t be driven at all.¡±

    Patsy, a technical geek, simply ignored what the two of them were saying and continued his conjectures on combination theory.

    Carlos replied thoughtfully: "The passport he presented is from China. He is only eighteen years old this year. This is the first time he has come to the United States But hell, this guy's English is so proficient that he is better than  Americans still want Americansand when he negotiates, he has a very calm demeanor, just like a man in his thirties or fortiesAll in all, I think he is a strange genius!"

    "good!!"

    Before Redillo could speak, Patsy over there slammed the table and shouted in realization.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
